Kate, Kevin and Randall head to their family's cabin to get away after their chaotic family Thanksgiving. A very angry Randall finds comfort and explanation from his father, Jack. Olivia speaks a harsh truth to Kate, which drives a wedge between Kate and Kevin. Rebecca and Jack struggle with what to do when 9-year-old Randall tells them that he's been looking for his birth parents.[+]more

I forgot to mention last episode: I like how they've been giving us hints and nods to Rebecca having memory issues, perhaps even oncoming Alzheimer's. I wonder how severe it is now.

@bookofsnow Maybe you should rewatch that scene. Kevin approaches her and says something like, "I'm guessing you don't celebrate Thanksgiving". She in turn told him that her mother is American, and Olivia would be forced to spend Thanksgiving with her just because they're related...

There was a line there in which Rebecca crossed - i understand that she wanted to protect Randall from the crack addict bio dad but she knew he got better and still kept it hidden. The fact she was never going to tell him shows how insecure she is as mother/parent, because its clear the ony reaeon she never told him is because she feared Randall loving William more than he loves her (if u remember, she was reluctant to have children in the first place, i just kind of feel real bad for her cuz she kept the secret in order to keep Randall as her son and her son only...) yes, it is selfish. But i cant help but feel bad for her, she just didnt want to lose him (clearly a little niave about how the truth always finds its way out...) the scene with Randall high on the shrooms and Rebecca constantly checking the locks and closing the windows is highly symbolic in a way i think all of us understood, and i hope randall got some insight from that too.

And she obviously didnt tell Jack because she knew he would want to tell Randall the truth and have William in their lives and she didnt want anyone to know, ever, for reasons i just mentioned above.

I like Olivia...guess im the only one, but i think shes more complex than yall think and theyre kinda good for each other in a way, like she needed someone to question whether or not shes experienced anything real in her life. If anyones annoying me lately its Kate. But, i do like the glasses girl too so if anything happens there, that would be ok too.

Omg the scene where Randall was talking about feeling unwanted...tears streamed down like a river. Of course, the push up scene as well. I wish so so much that he was still alive, especially during this time.

Dancy- Thank you for sharing. I get keeping it from him when he was younger, but she never was going to tell him and thats is whats upsetting. Especially after his dad got clean and was better.

Also, my experience is not the same. I'm not adopted. I just had an experience where family did not want me to connect with my sibling. I have a brother (same father, different mother) and no one wanted us to meet. For 20 years his family and my family would not connect us, until our father died. We met for the first time exactly one month after funeral. I do not see why ppl will willfully try to keep family apart. I get shielding from bad behavior, but to never want them to connect is something else.

I am not speaking from experience I am just giving you my point of view here,so I apologize if it hurts you in any way,since you had a real life experience with this.

Yes,Rebecca was selfish!She did it out of fear that she's going to lose him,Randall.Haven't you ever felt that kind of fear,of losing someone you love and did something stupid,or at least you were tempted?! You can see they really did excepted him as their own child and that he was her favourite. That was told through Kevin and Randal's relationship. I know this isn't some very intelligent answer from my part,if you expected one,but as I look at it, simple,she is just human.Our parents are just regular human beings but we like to think that since they are our parents that they must be perfect flawless gods.She was wrong to hide it from him I agree and I am waiting to hear her explanation.I am sure that for a lot of us anything she says wont be good enough,but maybe it will help us understand her and her way a bit better.

On the other hand,I can very feel for Randall more that I will ever feel for Rebecca.I did not take her side I just said that I begin to understand her ways a little.It is natural to know who you are and where you came from and who you parents are and why did they left you. and nobody has a right to stop you.Cause no matter that Rebecca and Jack gave everything that they could to Randall he could never stop feeling like he is not enough and that he is unwanted and unloved.But he turned out to be an amazing man,father and husband.Who knows what would've happened if he met his father earlier in life.

As for hiding it from Jack,this is how I see it.Jack is for now presented as a perfect father.We saw in the scene where Jack is showing Randall Rebecca locked inside the cabin that when Rebecca decided not to tell anyone including her husband about Randall's father,she condemned her self for years of loneliness, carrying alone that secret and that burden.Hence now we all hate Rebecca and not Jack.Can you imagine if she told him that secret and we find out he was lying to Randall too,that would've tainted his image of a perfect father right?!Hence I say she somehow protected him from all of that.We can not know now what Jack would've done,he maybe would've find Randall's father and brought him into Randall's life but who knows maybe he would've gave in to same fear as Rebecca. Anyway,those are just my views on things...

I think adoptive parents who lie to their children like that are so selfish. And downright evil when you know that child is in pain or really looking for answers and you withhold the truth. My mother did the same kinda. It is only natural to want to know where you really come from and who your ppl are. I would even understand if she waited until he 21, but she was NEVER going to tell him.

Lol Randall and his list he's so sweet and that supermarket scene ugh his character melts my heart. The scenes with Jack ugh just reminds of the fact that Jack is dead and unless there are more hallucianted scenes lol there won't be any more with the adults and him :'( haha that brexit line. Knew he'd end up with Sloane after they spoke i like them together. OH man that last scene with the push ups </3

Although now I can understand why Rebecca did what she did,I did not understand why she kept a secret from Jack?!That was my biggest issue with her.Now I can see that in some way she was protecting him.Jack was a perfect father and she made sure he stays that way. All this episodes shown that they had a good marriage,they work trough it all and as episodes go by I am more interesting to see when it all went downhill...There was some problems with Jack as it was mentioned by his ghost lol but I hope it wont taint his image too much

And I hope we are done with Olivia.Maybe she's a gorgeous girl for our boy Kevin but far too cold and faceless,I've rather seen him with someone cute and awkward like that girl with glasses that came out of nowhere...

IN LAST WEEK'S EPISODE... Olivia talked about hating Thanksgiving growing up.. well I wasn't 100% certain of her being British but it was confirmed in this one. THEY DO NOT HAVE Thanksgiving outside North America!!!! What a huge plot hole.
